How landed cost is built up
Basic Customs Duty (BCD) is charged on the assessable value — usually the CIF value (cost, insurance and freight). The Social Welfare Surcharge is then charged at 10% of the BCD amount itself, not the assessable value. IGST is charged last, on the assessable value plus BCD plus surcharge combined — not on the assessable value alone. BCD and IGST rates both vary by HSN code; look yours up before relying on the total here.
Worked example
On an assessable value of ₹5,00,000 with 10% BCD and 18% IGST: BCD is ₹50,000, the Social Welfare Surcharge is 10% of that BCD, or ₹5,000, and IGST is 18% of ₹5,00,000 + ₹50,000 + ₹5,000 = ₹5,55,000, which comes to ₹99,900. Total landed cost: ₹5,00,000 + ₹50,000 + ₹5,000 + ₹99,900 = ₹6,54,900.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Social Welfare Surcharge?
A surcharge introduced to fund social welfare schemes, charged at 10% of the Basic Customs Duty amount itself — not on the assessable value. So it moves with whatever BCD rate applies to your goods.
Does this include Anti-Dumping Duty or Compensation Cess?
No — this calculator only computes BCD, the Social Welfare Surcharge, and IGST. Anti-Dumping Duty, Countervailing Duty, and Compensation Cess apply only to specific notified goods and aren't included here; check your HSN code against the relevant notifications separately.
How do I find the right BCD and IGST rate for my product?
Both vary by the exact HSN/tariff item, not just the broad chapter. Use the HSN/SAC Finder to identify the heading, then confirm the precise duty rate on the CBIC customs tariff or with a customs broker before filing a bill of entry.
